Default KYB Shocks, WTF!!

Two week ago I decided to replace my worn out Monroe shocks on my 67 GP. Decided to go with KYB Gas shocks since I had good luck with them on my 67 GTO. Installation wasn't too bad. The rears went on easily, the front was another story. First of all they would not line up to mount the bottom to the lower control arm. I had to slot them in order for the bolts to line up. Ride was firm but rather nice and really tightened thing up a bit. I wasn't floating all over the road any more. the other night I decided to change the oil in the GP. while underneath I noticed on the passenger side the bushing had pulled completely out of the shock at the bottom, and on the driver side the bushing was half way out! What the heck gives??? I have a set on the front of my 67 GTO with no issues at all. Has anyone else seen this. Very strange and cannot figure out why. pictures are attached.
